    Wowzers, what a great haul!! You will have lots of money fabric now that you have all those extras sitting in the background. What a nice blessing. Enjoy.

    My brother brought me his deceased wife's stash. I, too, am overwhelmed. At least you've started sorting yours.

    Your cousin sounds like my sister. She was moving to different house and asked if I wanted her fabric. Said sure thinking it would be just a few pieces --- turned out to be around 300 yards of fabric. Good thing we like the same colors. One of these days I should make her a quilt.

    What a lovely thing for her to do. It looks like you now have an "abundance" and can share some things with your friends. What goes around comes around!

    Wow, oh wow! That's a LOT of stuff. I can't fathom why anyone would need 14 rotary cutters or 45 rulers. Are they all in good shape? I'm happy for you, and wish you the best dealing with your abundant blessing

    Wow, aren't you blessed. But I know it can be overwhelming. Hope you have room enough to spread things out. It will be easier to sort. You will never have to buy another blade. I just bought a tin with about 6 pairs of scissors and 2 cutters at a yard sale. All I really wanted was the Olfa cutter but the price was cheap, so...

    There were 18, 28, 45, and 60mm Olfas, and 18, 28, and 45 from Fiskars. (Never had seen an 18, or a 60mm before. Several had pinking blades in them. The rulers are Tri-Rec Tools, Tri-Mates, Companion Angles, Easy Six, Easy Eight, Easy Kite, Easy Hexagon, Simple circles, triangles, and bunches more. Honestly I have no idea what most of them are for! Maybe half of the patterns are for table runners. I'm going to have to start researching!
